[Grammar] present tense

[ZAkaria Aditya]

Guys ...
Is there verb ended by letter S ???
And if exist, what rule will be in the present tense in case adding S/ES?
Cz as I know ES just for edded verbs by ss, sh,ch,o,x and y. If it will be add by S of course it is impossible because it will be confused.
So how ?

If there are any verbs ending in a single 's', they would also add "es". But I can't think of any just now.
Now, I'll wait for someone to prove me wrong!

PS: Ah, I've found one - dis, to disrespect. A fairly new American verb (1986). I dis, you dis, he disses, etc. Note that you also double the 's'.

There are many.

gas
has
pass
was
guess
mess
dis(s)
hiss
kiss
miss
piss
boss
toss
bus
buss
cuss
fuss
muss

In the third person singular present tense, most take an "es". Some will require the "s" to be doubled. "Has" and "was" are exceptions.

No, I think the OP was referring to verbs ending in one 's', given that they say: "I know ES just for edded verbs by ss,"
OP also says, " If it will be add by S of course it is impossible because it will be confused.", which I took to mean that is you added 's' to 'gas', for example, you'd get 'gass', which would be confusing.

I'll grant you 'gas' and 'bus'.

Thanks for the "grant". The OP's question was not very clear.

thank you for your comment guys, this is one of my questions in my mind appearing when I taught my private student. I explained about adding S or ES in present tense, then he asked me about verb ending by "letter just one S". I am confuse because I don't know before, so I share my question here guys.

By the way, you say, "Cz as I know ES just for edded verbs by ss, sh,ch,o,x and y."
It is not true that all verbs ending in 'o' and 'y' take "es". (But as a general rule they do)

radio, radios; boo, boos; moo, moos ...
deploy, deploys; enjoy, enjoys; destroy, destroys, play, plays ...
